Hi,
www.girtonlabs.com is now updated so a 7Mbyte MP3 audio file can be
downloaded and saved. You can then play it on Windows Media Player or
other player.
goto "The full documentary is here Sunday 21st Sept, BBC R4 for 7
days or here as MP3 file. right click on mouse to save and listen to"
10Mbyte file is maximum Google Page Creator will allow so compressed
to fit in this limit.

I (eventually!) gave up trying to d/l it and listened to it *live*...
I found it interesting, but it would have been, IMHO, _far_ better if it had
been televised.
Some thimgs are better on radio, but this wasn't one of them.
YMMV of course!
For me at least, _seeing_ thimgs aids memory far more than _hearing_ things.
Having both is even better, of course...

It seems to lead to something inciting me to install RealPlayer, which
is promising. The actual URL seems to be
http://www.bbc.co.uk/iplayer/aod/playlists/tp/vk/d0/0b/RadioBridge_2030_bbc_radi
o_three.ram
A long time ago, I wrote a 'file' audio output plugin for Xine,
specifically so that I could stream the BBC's RealAudio streams to a
wave file. I think it's shipped in the default Xine builds these days.
With xine configured to know where your RealPlayer codecs are, it's
something like:
XINE_WAVE_OUTPUT=foo.wav xine -A file \
http://www.bbc.co.uk/iplayer/aod/playlists/tp/vk/d0/0b/RadioBridge_2030_bbc_radi
o_three.ram
(and then convert to Ogg as you see fit; I couldn't be bothered to do
that as part of the output plugin; wave is trivial and I'm lazy.)
